Road Test Review – 2019 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG – By Carl Malek

With the SUV and CUV segments adding so many new models into their respective ranks, it can be easy to forget that there are a few iconic nameplates sitting at various points in the segment. If your a rapper, celebrity, third world leader, or even the pope, few entries can match the extensive rap sheet wielded by the Mercedes G-Class. First conceived in 1972 at the suggestion of the King of Iran, the G-Class initially started life as a military vehicle, with the Argentinian army interestingly being the first power to use it in 1981. The first civilian version appeared …

Mercedes-Benz G-Class INFERNO by TopCar Design

We were famously unimpressed by the new G-wagen’s lack of visual impact when it was first released. The new panels all around barely made a dent in updating the machine! Time was warmed our impression of the redesign — which was more focused on interior and performance upgrades, while deliberately keeping the exterior style almost frozen in 1979. TopCar Design to the rescue! The new aftermarket options for the latest G-Class generation are quite comprehensive, functional and visually exciting on such a big beast of a truck. There are dozens of aero tweaks and detail modifications in carbon-fiber throughout the …

2017 Mansory GRONOS 6×6 G-Wagen

The Mansory Gronos G-Class goes right into the “Because.. Of Course” folder. The design upgrades are fairly deep with an all-new face and fresh rear bumper as well. Much more modern than the factory G-CLass. But nothing compares with the raw curb appeal. A truck whose fenders are at eye level needs little upgrade. And of course, this 6×6 version is an even more capable forebearer to the trendy 4×4-squared. WIth an extra locking diff there is a big traction advantage in the 6×6. Its external pickup bed is also a favorite feature among its Falcon-loving owners. Here are three …

2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 4×4 at Amelia Island Concours [45 Photos]

Ever wanted a truck that was so outrageous it might stop traffic dead on sight? Welcome to the G-Class 4×4-squared. This G550 4×4 even upstages the G65 parked right beside it. This “normal” twin-turbo V12 G-wagen looks like a child’s toy parked next to the 4×4! The G65 and this G550 are actually priced pretty similarly. The 4×4 comes in G550 and G63 variants, with this G550 coming in at about $220k. The G65 is just a few thousand more and will be MUCH quicker. But not nearly as outlandish. 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 4×4

2015 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Crazy Colors Edition Makes USA Debut in Amelia Island

This G63 AMG option set took us by the eyeballs over the weekend in Amelia Island! This dark red/blue/purple shade is a flip color — it changes from dark red to a deep indigo in different lights. This ‘Galactic Beam’ paint color is actually really cool on the G63 because there are so many hard corners and sharp panel changes. The blocky shape makes the color flip extra pronounced. The lower trims and roof are all a tasty gloss-black, which is actually surprisingly sexy on the big G-wagen. There are four other shades offered, and all bring an extra $15,000 …

Latest G-Class Widebody by German Special Customs Is Classy and Subtle, But Still Super Lux

When it comes to upgrading your G-Class Mercedes-Benz, the widebody exterior treatments from German Special Customs are some of the best and most realistically desirable. We love their latest bright blue over dark charcoal wheels. The monchrome exteior is much wider and far more modern than the factory model – but is not too over-the-top about becoming such a custom brute. The widebody fits the G400 CDI, G500, G550 , G63 and even the G65 AMG — or is also available on a per-piece basis. Installing all together is highly recommended so you can paint and color-match everything at the …
